First, the principle, 'Make sure they see you sharpen your sword before you fall on it.'
Ok, seems a bit extreme, right? But think about what its saying. Think about it more metaphorically.
'Make sure they see you' is the key there. If you're going to suffer persecution, make sure EVERYONE IS AWARE of the persecution, make sure its very visible.
That is the exaggeration of the persecution being suffered.
Really, what's Twitter doing? Fucking with how people can search him, throwing bullshit notes on his post? Does any of that ACTUALLY hurt Trump? Like, REALLY? Does it? It doesn't.
So what about the rest of us?
It is what is called 'killing grounds'.
Is that the best those fucksticks can do?
